UDUMBARA pottery´s (est. 1994) products are made from wild, natural clay from the small village of Kultela in Somero, Southwestern Finland.
The material gives the products a wonderfully rich earthy character. By choosing this local raw material Udumbara wants to emphasize the unique and ecological value of wild clay.
Thanks to the Kultela clay's porous nature, its rich iron, and other mineral content, tea brewed in wild clay ware develops a richer flavour.

UDUMBARA keramiks produkter tillverkas i Berghäll i Helsingfors av äkta inhemsk rödlera från Kultela tegelfabrik. Materialet ger kärlen en underbart robust och jordnära karaktär.
Udumbara vill genom sitt val av råvara betona det unika värdet hos inhemsk naturlera. Finländsk naturlera är ett varmt, hemtrevligt och framförallt ekologiskt val. Den är en ekologisk råvara eftersom den inte kräver någon invecklad behandling för att kunna användas och för att leran bränns till färdiga produkter i låg temperatur.

Wild clay planters are ideally suited to a plant's physiological needs. Part of their beauty is their tendency to beautify with age as they weather and absorb mineral salts from the soil.

UDUMBARA keramiikan tuotteet valmistetaan Helsingin Kalliossa aidosta kotimaisesta Kultelan tiilitehtaan punasavesta. Materiaali luo astioihin ihanan rehevän maanläheisen luonteen.
Tuotteidensa raaka-ainevalinnalla Udumbara haluaa korostaa ainutlaatuisen kotimaisen luonnonsaven arvoa. Suomalainen luonnonsavi on lämminhenkinen, kodikas ja ennenkaikkea ekologinen valinta, sillä se ei raaka-aineena vaadi monimutkaista prosessointia ja se poltetaan matalassa lämpötilassa valmiiksi tuotteeksi.

ウドゥンバラ・ UDUMBARA
ウドゥンバラ・セラミックスの陶器商品は、ヘルシンキのカッリオで、クルテレ村の煉瓦工場で生産された純国産赤粘土から造られます。この材料は陶器に大地の恵み豊かなナチュラルな感触をもたらします。
陶器商品を通じてウドゥンバラはフィンランドの特殊な天然粘土の価値を強調したいのです。フィンランドの天然粘土は暖かみがあり、一般に親しみのある素材です。また複雑な加工が必要なく、低温で出来上がりの商品に焼成できるので、環境にも優しい選択です。

“Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.”

By choosing this local raw material Udumbara wants to emphasise the unique value of natural clay. Finnish natural clay is warm, homely and above all an ecological choice, because as a natural raw material it does not require complex processing and it is fired to a ready product at a low temperature.
